The link-handle / handle-command Noir circuits now require: - body and decoded_body storage to be zero past len(), - decoded_body.len() <= body.len(), - each regex match range to end within the signed length of the array it reads (decoded_body.len() / header.len()). Regenerated with nargo 1.0.0-beta.5 + bb 0.84.0 (same as compile.sh): twitter + discord target/HonkVerifier.sol, handleCommand/HonkVerifier.sol, redditHandleCommand/HonkVerifier.sol, and the twitter / claimX proofs. Public inputs are unchanged (byte-identical public_inputs files). Adds test/fixtures/linkHandleCommand/check_signed_bounds.py, which runs nargo execute on the valid sample inputs and on three inputs that place a regex match outside the signed bytes (all three must be rejected).

Zero-pad header before the header regex check.
sender_domain_regex::regex_match passes header.storage() to select_subarray, which reads a fixed window. The match-end assertion only bounds the accepted match, not that window. Bytes in header.storage() after header.len() are free prover input, and header is not checked like body and decoded_body.
Add assert_zero_padded(header); in all four main.nr files before the header match-bound assertion. Add a header-tail case to test/fixtures/linkHandleCommand/check_signed_bounds.py that keeps the match range unchanged.

The previous commit required body/decoded_body storage to be zero past len(). zkemail.nr's JS input generator leaves SHA-256 padding there and sets decoded_body.len() past the signed content, so valid emails laid out that way were rejected. The header (relayer-utils SHA-pads it too) was never constrained. Instead, bound each regex match to what is signed: - header regex: match_end <= header.len(); - body regex over decoded_body: match_end <= signed_decoded_len(body) = body.len() - 3 * (soft line breaks starting before body.len()), computed in-circuit; decoded_body.len() is not trusted. check_signed_bounds.py gains a "valid-sha-padded-tail" case (same email, JS-generator layout), which passes now and fails on the previous commit. Twitter 484,318 gates (main: 468,002). Verifiers and the twitter/claimX proofs are regenerated; public_inputs stay byte-identical. forge test 112/112.

…nputs Same revision as zkemail/ens-contracts#38: drop the zero-tail asserts (they rejected valid inputs from zkemail.nr's JS generator, which leaves SHA-256 padding past len()), and instead bound the header match by header.len() and the body match by the decoded image of the signed body, computed in-circuit. check_signed_bounds.py adds a SHA-padded-tail case that must prove.

github.com/zkemail/zk-regex tag 2.2.0 noir capture_substring check_transition_with_captures
💡 Result:
Inspection citation: inspection_2ba4510cd5af7ccb97ac2c183eba0711
The **2.2.0** release exists and points to commit `acdc2c1`; its release note says **“Added Noir Tests.”** ([github.com](https://github.com/zkemail/zk-regex/releases?utm_source=openai))
I couldn’t verify from the available sources whether that tag’s Noir code contains `capture_substring` or `check_transition_with_captures`, or what those functions do. The repository’s current README describes the project as supporting Circom and says Noir is coming, but it may not reflect tag 2.2.0. ([github.com](https://github.com/zkemail/zk-regex?utm_source=openai))
So the specific function details remain unresolved; the release page is the closest source for the requested version.

Constrain capture metadata after the matched range. After match_length - 1, reached_end_state disables transition constraints, but capture_substring still processes the full window. A prover can therefore place a capture endpoint after the signed match and expose unsigned storage bytes.
In each cited regex circuit, assert capture_group_1_id[i] == 0 for every i >= match_length. Add a check_signed_bounds.py mutation with a valid in-range match and a capture that extends past its end. Do not use assert_zero_padded(header) because the supported SHA-padded layout is not zero-filled.

Human intent
Audit the zkemail org's ENS email-linking circuits for bugs fixed in zkemail/Redacted and fix them with tests (PRs only; no merges or deploys).
Follow-up from the user: find out why the original code behaved the way it did, keep every legitimate flow working, and close only what can actually be exploited.
What changes
The four blueprint-generated circuits under
test/fixtures(linkHandleCommand/twitter,linkHandleCommand/discord,handleCommand,redditHandleCommand) now bound each regex match to signed bytes:match_start + match_length <= header.len().match_start + match_length <= signed_decoded_len(body).signed_decoded_len(body)isbody.len() - 3 × (soft line breaks that start before body.len()), computed in-circuit.decoded_body.len()is not trusted.The DKIM signature covers
header[0..len)and the body hash coversbody[0..len).zk-regex'sselect_subarrayonly bounds a match by the array capacity, so these asserts tie the outputs to signed bytes.Revision: the first version of this PR asserted that storage past
len()is zero. I replaced that, because legitimate input generators don't all zero that region (details below).Why the original code did this
.storage()is passed to the regex unbounded:regex_matchtakes a plain[u8; N]with no length, andselect_subarraychecks onlystart + length <= N(zk-regex8464c8b,d04c6cf).AssertZeroPaddinginsideEmailVerifier. zkemail.nr'sverify_dkim_signaturehas no equivalent, so the port assumed the tail was zero, and that assumption doesn't hold for inputs tomain.decoded_bodyis a separate input:=\r\n), and handles or other text can straddle them.remove_soft_line_breaksprovesdecoded_bodyequalsbodywith the soft breaks removed, over the whole storage, so the regex can match the de-wrapped text.decoded_body.len().generateEmailVerifierInputsleaves SHA-256 padding afterbody.len()and decodes the whole storage. That setsdecoded_body.len()past the signed content.commandnot tied to the email (intended, unchanged):commandis a blueprint external input, likeprover_address.LinkTextRecordEntrypoint.verifyTextRecordonly answers whether the record the ENS owner set matches a proven handle, so both sides consent.test/fixtures/AlwaysValidDKIMRegistry.solandscript/DeployAlwaysValidDkimRegistry.solcame in with feat: verifiable text records - x handle #16.0xc4f62849…"Sepolia always valid DKIM registry", so the testnet doesn't need oracle-registered keys.Regenerated artifacts
